With Cirque Du Soleil it is all about the ups and downs. When Covid struck, the all-conquering Canadian circus company’s global empire immediately stopped moving. With this European premiere of Kurios – Cabinet of Curiosities it is very much back. The ups and downs now are limited to the antics of their acrobats.
There is a noticeably different tone to Kurios compared to past spectaculars. There are no ethereal nymphs or woodland creatures. The aesthetic is more steampunk, all bathyspheres and chunky robots waddling around.
